TWELVE

2007-01-24T18:09:00.000+08:00

Monday, January 15, 2007
I was flipping through some magazines one day when I chanced upon this. It was an 8 Days interview with the Top 12 contestons in Singapore Idol 2.

"The Magic Numbers

By pop culture standards, 12 is an iconic number. There're 12 days of Christmas. There're 12 apostles. 12 signs in the Zodiac. 12 pairs of ribs in the human body. And while we're on the subject of singing, guess how many pitch classes make a full octave? That's right, 12.
Did someone say 12 months to the next bonus? Gulp. These Top 12 Singapore Idol finalists (whittled down from a staggering 3600 wannabes), however, have a different equation on their minds. Their numbers, you see, will diminish over the next 12 weeks as voters back their favourites. Down to the last one standing - the new Singapore Idol. So watch these 12. They're gonna be doing some magic numbers. Iconic, indeed."

I felt a sense of nostalgia as I read this. I miss tee twelve! And I miss school too. And I felt proud of being in tee twelve after reading this, haha.

Ms. Ho's parting msg

2006-12-04T14:31:00.000+08:00

Cherish school days - email fwd.

2006-11-27T21:49:00.000+08:00

Every day when you return from your school, whether or not it is from a secondary school, a junior college, a polytechnic, or ITE, you would probably think that school sucks. All that work and torture under your lecturer's or teacher's homework or assignments, or tutorials...

But think about this, I mean really think. All the time spent with your classmates, all the laughter, sorrows, and happiness of knowing that your friends are there in your class.

Now imagine them gone, perhaps part of them or even all of them. You may not realise it, but when advancing into the next level of education, it is inevitable that some friends will be parting with you.

What is all this, you ask yourself; what I ask is of you to think, for those who received this mail, what do those people who were once or were still your classmates and friends meant to you. Anyone who has at least finished their O-levels and has graduated from respective schools would know the feeling of parting with your classmates and friends. Not knowing when you still see them again. Perhaps the next day, the next week, month, years, or even decade.

Perhaps one day, you would realised how bittersweet those memories were, the fun you had with your classmates and friends. That is why, ever so often, when you asked someone which are the most fond memories they had in their years in education, they would often have that sadness in their eyes, but yet, they smile briefly. It's the memories of their school friends. Those unforgettable years of laughter and happiness in school.

Each classmate had suffered under the same stresses in school. The teachers, whether they are kind or extremely strict. So treasure your schooling days, don't complain, because you never know when you will miss them dearly. And perhaps, shed a tear for those treasured times in your youth.

Now, you have two choices,
1) if this touches your heart, and reminded you of those classmates who brought happiness, laughter, colour to your life, you can pass it on, let your classmates know that although all these years, whether short or long, you still have not forgotten them. Or...

2) If you feel that this is just another letter that is writing rubbish, you can just delete this straightaway.

Magic Eye

2006-09-08T12:04:00.000+08:00

I went to Wikipedia & this happened to be today's featured article. =p

An autostereogram is a single-image stereogram (SIS), designed to trick human eyes and brains into seeing a three-dimensional (3D) scene in a two-dimensional image. In order to "see" 3D shapes in these autostereograms, the brain must decouple focusing operations of the eyes from convergence.

There are two ways an autostereogram can be viewed: wall-eyed and cross-eyed. Most autostereograms are designed to be viewed in only one way. Wall-eyed viewing requires that the two eyes adapt a relatively divergent angle, while cross-eyed viewing requires a relatively convergent angle.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram

If you cross-view Magic Eye pictures or other images intended for parallel-viewing, shapes that should pop out will look punched in.

The Husband Store

2006-08-19T13:33:00.000+08:00

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.
You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012th to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Ferrari Driver

2006-08-19T13:29:00.000+08:00

A young unwed girl discovers that she is pregnant. Scared, she confides this 'news' to her mother. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out of it and enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl, and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.
However, I can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take responsibility.

If a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach villa and a $1,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $2,000,000 bank account. If it is twins, a factory and $1,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him,
"You can try again!"

The Rise of the College Woman

2006-08-17T23:10:00.000+08:00

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/adultlearning/?article=CollegeWoman&GT1=8432

USA: A lot more women are signing up than men. We don't know why, but these days, young men are tending to go right into the workforce after high school. They want to start earning money and don't feel they need college.

More College = More Money + More Power.

If that's true, 30 years from now women will be making most of the money and they'll be running society.

On the other hand...
Women have outnumbered men in college for almost 40 years now, yet they still earn about 75 cents for every dollar earned by men in comparable jobs. Obviously there's a gap between what college enables and what society allows.
...
When people talk about all the extra money and power a college degree can get you, they're mostly talking about technical or business degrees - about scientists and engineers. Or they're comparing the earnings of business executives who have M.B.A.s versus those who don't.

Women, despite their enthusiasm for college, are not going into technical fields. They earn, for example, only 20 percent of the engineering degrees conferred in this country each year. And they're way under-represented in M.B.A. programs.

The Missing Dollar

2006-07-28T16:55:00.000+08:00

Three friends went to a motel. The manager said a room cost $30, payable in advance, so each man put up $10 and went to their room. A little while later the manager realised the room was only $25, so he sent the bellhop back to the three guys' room with $5. On the way to the room the bellhop couldn't figure out how to split the $5 between the 3 men, so he gave each one of them $1 and he kept the other $2.

This meant that the 3 men paid $9 each for the room for a total of $27. Add the $2 that the bellhop kept = $29.

Where did the other dollar go?

The answer is in the way the question is worded. You cannot add what one person HAS to what someone else has PAID and come up with any kind of a meaningful number, you have to subtract.
Each man has paid $9.
The bellhop has $2.
Difference $9 x 3 = $27
$27 - $2 = $25

The hotel clerk has the other 25 dollars.
To look at it from the standpoint of the original $30. Each man has $1.
The bellhop has $2.
The hotel clerk has $25.
Total
$1 x 3 = $3
$3 + $2 + $25 = $30

Fred and Mabel were both patients in a mental hospital.

One day as they walked beside the swimming pool, Mabel jumped into the deep end and sank to the bottom. Without a thought for his own safety, Fred jumped in after her, brought her to the surface, hauled her out and gave her the kiss of life and saved her.

The next day happened to be Fred's annual review. He was brought before the hospital board where the director told him, "Fred, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that in light of your heroic act yesterday, we consider that you are sane and can be released from this home back into society."

"The bad news is that Mabel, the patient you saved, hung herself shortly afterwards in the bathroom with the belt from her bathrobe. I'm sorry but she's dead."

"She didn't hang herself," replied Fred, "I put her there to dry."

Ocean drilling program seeks to finally reach hot mantle
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7424677/

The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) seeks the elusive "Moho," a boundary formally known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity. It marks the division between Earth's brittle outer crust and the hotter, softer mantle.

The depth of the Moho varies. This latest effort, which drilled 4,644 feet (1,416 meters) below the ocean seafloor, appears to have been 1,000 feet off to the side of where it needed to be to pierce the Moho, according to one reading of seismic data used to map the crust's varying thickness.

The map... it looks like rainbow-coloured ice-cream to me.

Chinese Businessman

2006-05-12T10:03:00.000+08:00

A Chinese walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.

He tells the loan officer that he is going to Taiwan on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The Chinese replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Smother Nature

2006-05-05T23:38:00.000+08:00

An eruption of carbon dioxide from a lake killed hundreds of people.
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/smother.asp

Carbon dioxide naturally seeps from geothermal sources below that body of water and dissolves under pressure in the cold layer at the bottom of the lake. The water serves to hold the carbon dioxide in place, and over time the lake becomes infused with the compound. Once the saturation point is achieved (when the water can absorb no more carbon dioxide), the lake turns deadly.

On the fateful night of 21 August 1986, the deep waters of the lake either reached their carbon dioxide saturation point or something happened to disturb the layer lurking at the bottom of the lake (such as a rockslide), and without warning the lake "turned over," its bottom layer shooting to the surface in a violent, frothy eruption of carbonated water that flew some 250 feet into the sky. The lake waters turned red as dissolved iron was sucked up to the surface by the turmoil.

An estimated 100 million cubic metres of gas emerged from the lake in that explosion, quickly sweeping over the valleys surrounding Lake Nyos and, being denser than air, sinking to suffocate the inhabitants below.

Death came quickly. One man living just two hours on foot from the lake said, "We heard a noise, just like a gunshot." He immediately checked on his two young daughters, and found them already dead in their bed.

A total of 1,746 people were smothered in the night, according to the official casualty toll. The deadly cloud covered an area of up to 12 miles around the lake, killing thousands of cattle as well.

A similar incident in 1984 at Lake Monoun, another crater lake in western Cameroon, killed 37 people. Volcanic gases are not usually so toxic. Carbon dioxide is being vented elsewhere in the region, but because it seeps from the ground, it releases directly into the air and so poses little danger unless one is a frog or small rabbit that wanders too close to such discharges.

At Lake Nyos, the gas was released suddenly, at a single site, and remained highly concentrated.

More than 3000 people were killed and at least two hundred and twenty-five thousand more, roughly half the population of San Francisco at that time, were left homeless. In comparison, the September 11 attacks killed 2981 people.

In addition to being the centennial of the last big quake, April 18 2006 marks the approximate midway point in the countdown to the next Big One – 100 years of stress accumulated in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions. The more scientists learn about the ways in which that stress may be released, the more ominous the next earthquake cycle seems to be. There is a greater than 60% probability that there could be an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or higher over the next thirty years.

The San Francisco earthquake was big news in 1906, but it was not the only event to hit the headlines. In fact, it wasn’t the only large earthquake – 1906 was a notable year for significant seismic shifts, including other huge temblors in Ecuador and Colombia (8.6-8.8 magnitude, January 31, more than 500 deaths), Taiwan (7.1, March 16, 1,300 deaths) Chile (8.2, August 16, about 20,000 fatalities), as well as less deadly 8.2-magnitude events in the Aleutian Islands and the West Pacific. In addition, Mt. Vesuvius erupted, killing hundreds in and around Naples, Italy.

A woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.
She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.
The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!"
The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, "You do realise that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to."

The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me."

So, KAZAM - she's the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you."

The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."

So, KAZAM - she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them.

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good.

Male readers: Please scroll down.

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!

Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show.

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to all the ladies who have a good sense of humour.

Yea! More photos! We shall take lots and lots on Sports Day!!

Man, when was the last time someone came in here? Typing my GP essay got me so bored, so I decided to drop by. HAHA. I want to quit school and watch tv the whole day long. Who cares about globalisation? Why the heck are we studying about stupid automobile and steel industries? Complex numbers are a joke. DRV?

School's a morbid topic. We should ban it.

And maybe our blog can stop being so colourful. School definitely aint so happy. HA!

And if anyone is even reading this, someone has gotta talk to her soon. If you get what I'm trying to say. Haha. Get the drift? LOL.

School ends at 4 tomorrow. GG. No thanks to PE. There better be no sun tmr. I hate it. Yucks. Stop making me run in the sun.

Obviously, globalisation is good. HAHAHAHA. If not, there will be no computers or internet or even television. Gosh. Those who resent globalisation need to check their heads. Alright, maybe this is a biased view. HAHA. I aint making sense.

I'm just here to rant. And I feel so bored. I want to go kbox now.

Passengers

2006-01-10T12:24:00.000+08:00

A scene took place on a BA (British Airways) flight between Johannesburg and London. A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air hostess.
"Madam, what is the matter?" the hostess asked.
"You obviously do not see it then?" she responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."

"Be calm, please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available."
The hostess went away and returned a few minutes later. "Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is one seat in the business class. All the same, we also have one seat in the first class.

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is unusual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting."

She then turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class."

At that moment, the other passengers stood up and applauded.

The Living Will

2006-01-10T12:12:00.000+08:00

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her,
"Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state,
Dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.
If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.

The Cemetery Shortcut

2005-10-23T13:15:00.000+08:00

One dark night two men were walking home after a party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs.

Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.

"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death, we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"

"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"

A math joke.

2005-09-29T23:54:00.000+08:00

Differentiation (If you studied about this before)
A mathematician went insane and believed that he was the differentiation operator. His friends had him placed in a mental hospital until he got better. All day he would go around frightening the other patients by staring at them and saying "I differentiate you!" One day he met a new patient; and true to form he stared at him and said "I differentiate you!", but for once, his victim's expression didn't change. Surprised, the mathematician marshaled his energies, stared fiercely at the new patient and said loudly, "I differentiate you!", but still the other man had no reaction. Finally, in frustration, the mathematician screamed out "I DIFFERENTIATE YOU!
The new patient calmly looked up and said, "You can differentiate me all you like: I'm e to the power of x."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Admit it.
That is funny!

Alright, if you're not laughing.
Then then then..
Too bad.

Honestly, is it just my sense of humour?

Libing!

A few more jokes for you guys to destress.

2005-09-21T23:20:00.000+08:00

Dont worry, not dirty jokes alright! HEHEH!!!

A woman had 8 children, all of them boys. So, one day a magazine sent a journalist to her house for an interview.

He asked her about the boys and what their names were; she said 'Kelvin'.

'Right', he said, 'what about that blond one over there?
'Kelvin', she said.
'Oh, and the tall one with the freckles?'
'Kelvin', she said.
'Well, and the little chubby one with the baseball 'Kelvin', she said.
'Are all your boys called Kelvin?' he asked, 'isn't that terribly complicated?'
'Not at all', she said, 'it makes everything very easy, actually.

When I shout: Kelvin, tea is ready!, they all come.
When I say: Kelvin, it's time for bed!, they all go to bed.

'I see'. But what if you want only one of them?
'No problem.' she answers.
'Then I call them by their surnames'.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

I always thought this was very funny. (:
One day, one day, I'll say it to a teacher I dislike.

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say,

'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or
'That's Michael. He's a doctor."

A small voice at the back of the room rang out,
"And there's the teacher. She's dead."

Haha! Hope you enjoyed that! Tell you guys more in school! (:
More ya momo's so fat jokes? Okok! Enough!

Cya in school!

The Green Man.

2005-09-21T23:03:00.000+08:00

So it's my fav joke of all time. Really, I shouldnt call it a joke. It makes sense.
So here it goes.

There was once this lil green man, who was green from top to toe.
His hair was green.
His nose was green.
His eyeballs were green.
Even his nails were green.
And this lil green man lived in a lil green house, which was also green from inside to the outside.

So one day, the lil green man decided to take a shower in his lil green bathroom.
While he was in the shower, the postman came and rang the lil green doorbell.
So the lil green man took his lil green towel and wrapped it ard himself and went to get the door.
When he opened his lil green door, a gush of wind blew his lil green towel off.
Upon seeing what happened, the postman ran across the road and he got knocked down by the car.

What is the moral of the story? (Man, I almost typed morale.)

Well, you all know the answer.

Dont cross the road when the green man is flashing!

Well, I still insist that it makes very good sense. (:

Anyway, I was reading thru our blog, (we really have very few entries, perhaps school is just killing us!) but anyway, I saw that shuhui told us on 13th May, about the photo thing. And well, I just got it done recently. But still, I got it done! (like after ten years..) Please, clap your hands. Thank you! Well, at least I got it done! (: LOL.

Last note, mug hard alright. 2 more weeks, we'll make it. We'll all make it. (: Love you guys. Sorry I've been skipping school, not like I make a diff, whether or not I'm in class. Haha. Mug hard ppl! (:

Helping Hands

2005-09-16T20:28:00.000+08:00

One winter's night, a chipmunk is walking down the road headed home. It's getting colder and the shivering chipmunk realises he isn't going to make it. He collapses right there in the middle of the road.

A moment later, a horse-drawn carriage goes by. The horse notices the chipmunk sprawled out and realises the little guy is in dire straits. Without a way to stay warm, the chipmonk will freeze to death before morning. So the horse decides to help; he raises his tail up and drops a pile right on the chipmonk, and goes on about his business. Now the chipmonk is covered in manure. it's nasty and smelly, but he is all toasty and warm. He'll survive the night.

Unfortunately, a little while later a fox happens by. He sees the chipmunk there and licks his chops. He doesn't have to hunt for dinner tonight. There it is, all ready for him. The fox carefully reaches into the pile, delicately touching only the chipmunk. He yanks the chipmunk out and swallows him whole. The fox strolls off, happy and full.

The moral of the story: Anyone who craps on you is not necessarily an enemy, and someone who pulls you out of crap is not necessarily a friend. I offer this in case you were uncynical about the complexity of relationships.

Oregon oddity could be another volcano in the making
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9227930/

"A recent survey of a bulge that covers about 100 square miles near the South Sister indicates the area is still growing, suggesting it could be another volcano in the making or a major shift of molten rock under the center of the Cascade Range."

"Oregon has four of the 18 most active volcanoes in the nation — Mount Hood, Crater Lake, Newberry and South Sister."

today's carnival was f-u-n. maybe it was cos i came later than the rest of you and didn't have to do much hard labour (yansheng can re-enact what he did the whole day: picking up hoopes) anyhow, if you all want somemore cip hours i've got connections to a childcare centre. so if you all want, drop me an sms or smthg:)

anyhow i heard the kids at st gab's were a pain in the ass? one punched sherlyn's sister's face? SIGHH. and today, i found out something..liying has LONG legs. hahaha! and today.. i sprained my right ankle! @!#$^%(&))* right after my left one healed.

met JEYLANI at eunos mrt whilst on the way back..
he said mcron is sick? (then JEYLANI whispered: "at least that's what he said, maybe he's not sick haha")
mcron, get well! - if you're really sick that is.

okayyy i cannot wait for bbq on monday! i love FATS! :):)

announcement

class bbq has been changed to MONDAY 30th JUNE! its monday ok not tuesday. same time same place everything. MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY!

elissa' first post :)

2005-05-26T17:19:00.000+08:00

wah sehh. our class not bad eh, we're actually gonna have a class bbq and in mcron's and kimberly's words 'bond better together'.

anyhow our blog needs some LIFE and our tagboard needs more LOVE. could we change the colour? haha i have no idea how to do HTML stuff so some computer savvy person can be a bit zhi dong and go and do it. to my knowledge, purple is a GAY colour. (im also aware that yansheng and mcron are gays, so yeah perhaps purple is fine after all)

so.. today we have no school. i actually got down to studying for our mid years - have you all started? i just realised.. WE HAVE DAMN ALOT TO STUDY lah! so yeah, maybe we can have study groups set up or smthg. we MUST prove to desperaHO that our class can make it, and we're not delinquents. she really really has a problem with the backrow people - who are, btw, the coolest. the front row ppl are cool people in disguise lah k? :):) but really, be happy that she doesn't pick on you front row people. we get all the shit instead.

anyhow, dont think you all know what happened to me last week - t12 witnessed elissa crying! :( anyways, i wont say much, but i did something wrong. despite the fact that mr micheal tan had let me off and gave me a very light punishment, i felt horrible. so yes t12, integrity is veryvery important. once tarnished, it's real difficult to clean your slate. many thanks to liying, kim, sam, mcron and sherlyn who heard me out, and made it sound like it's (according to sam) 'no biggie'.

so yes.. about us uniting as a class. i think we're getting there. slowly but surely. takes time AND effort, but let it come naturally =] i bet that by the end of this year we'll be TIGHT mannn. once we go through more shit together, we'll come out closer yeah? illogical but true.

so here's smthg to make you all laugh.
A woman takes a lover home during the day, while her husband is at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy.
The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball."
Man - "That's nice."
Boy - "Want to buy it?"
Man - "No, thanks."
Boy - "My dad's outside."
Man - "OK, how much?"
Boy - "$250."
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together.
Boy - "Dark in here."
Man - "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball glove."
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy - "$750."
Man - "Fine."
A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth." The boy says, "I can't. I sold them." The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"The son says "$1,000." The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that shit again."

much love,
elissa*

hello this is mcron and yan sheng here writing an entry. so yan sheng, what have you got to say>

'LALA' says yan sheng.

'knock knock! who's there? coercion. coercion who? coercion high pressure!' haha not funny.

okay so we are in the library now after our ridiculous 12 pm end time. as libing is doing her studies on animals, terence finding a secluded spot sleeping like a monkey that did not eat any banana for 6 months and of course, yan sheng and i doing rubbish on the computer while we were supposed to do our 'research'. well at least that was what we told the aunty minah. btw her son in mahtson.

*terence wakes up and joins us*

today is friday the thirteenth. everything has been weird. kimberly was weird. way weird. but if she ever sees this, i would like to apologise to you and that whatever i did was to out of concern.

the three elements are all here now. two of which preparing for the 2.4 while the other is practising on his cheerleading skills later.

*alvina and liangwen just walk past*

okay enough for today.

three elements, out!

Mriaow!
